Ahhh, Tom Paine the troll... Are you Van Morrison? To say anything is absolute is certainly foolish.
I didn't say teenagers didn't drink cherry wine... I even mentioned the narrator possibly being a kid.
Although it's vague, I tend to lean towards it's taking a teens viewpoint. However, 14 is still 14. Still questionable lyrics to be singing at 24 or whatever Van Morrison was at the time.
The narrator is absolutely a kid.
If you think teenagers didn't drink cherry wine in Northern Ireland in the 1950's I don't know what to tell you.

Pseudointellectuals are easy to spot.
I've seen enough of his posts to see what he's doing.
Plus he appears to be a YUGE Van Morrison fan. 😂
From what I can tell, he has not performed it since the late 70s
Also, if you look at his songwriting SINCE that time, you may (as I do) find that Van has NOT written anything about underage sexual interaction.
In fact, since the early 1980s, much of his work has been focused on spiritual enlightenment and pointing out corruption in our modern society.
I'm going to give him a pass on this accusation unless more evidence is brought.
